Wishy Washy

Pardon me a moment while I emote on my new washer and dryer. I know you're thinking 'Big Deal!' Well, it's not. After years of being reliant on apt complex washers, I now have my own washer and dryer. It's oh so nice not to be forced to wait on someone else to finish their laundry so you can get started on your own. And, even better, not have to wait on the weather to be favorable! OR have to wait for the laundry room to open in the morning! OR have to time it so that your laundry is done before the laundry room closes! GAH! I hate that crap!

Never more. Never more.

Washin' that whatever away

Wow. This house is getting expensive. I've already spent a lot on a new refrigerator (which is the size I was looking for but the water filtration system is hit-and-miss. the ice side is fine but the filtered water tastes n-a$$-ty!) So, today being the end of the week, I ran out to the Sears Outlet store in Addison to go looking for a washer and dryer.

Well, I found a nice matched pair of Kenmore Series 500 washer and dryer. The prices were pretty decent but it still set me back a bundle. I should get it delivered this weekend. Now, I can start doing some laundry!

The interesting thing is that I came in under budget for those three items. In fact, I came in $100 under! Although that number is probably off another $200-$300 since I didn't factor in shipping and taxes and was looking at some decidedly cheaper (and probably lesser) models to begin with.

just waiting for the weekend now. the laundry's starting to pile up!

The Move! The Move!

Well, it's but time for the moving all the furniture, etc. today. I don't know why but I just can't seem to find the motivation to finish packing. It's not like the last time when I dumped, literally, nearly a dozen trash bags full of junk. I just don't want to do it. What's up with that?

Oh, well, regardless, tonight will be my first night at the new place.

Oh, yeah. Once the move starts, I'm going to be offline for a couple of days. I don't get internet service till Tuesday. :(

Cool-ness

Well, last night was pretty uneventful. I left work a little early to get to the sales office to get the keys. The house hasn't changed much in the last twenty-four hours. :) The main difference is that it's all mine now. Mine! My Own!

After a run to the local Wal-Mart, I picked up a few things to make the house a little cozy and grab some non-perishable food. Dinner at the house consisted of a Coke, a peanut butter sandwich and same sour cream and onion potato chips. Yum.

it arrived today. My fridge, that is. It's a lot bigger than I remember from when I saw it on the outlet center showroom. I need to find something to clean all the smudges off the front doors. I also need to call Sears and see about getting a copy of the instruction manual.

Well, back to packing and stuff. Gonna be a looong weekend.

Who needs caffeine on day like today?

I'm less than two hours away from closing on the house and I'm so pumped up right now that I don't need caffeine. 1 hour 44 minutes and counting!!

1st sign of the impending

I bet you thought I was going to say 'Armageddon', didn't you? HaHa.

It's more like 1st sign of the impending move. I close on the house tomorrow so today, at lunch, I went out and bought a (slightly used) refrigerator. It's a nice model made by Kenmore. Side-by-side. Stainless finish with a lot of fingerprint smugs and a few scratches. Nothing I can't live with. The price was pretty reasonable, too. It cost a few hundred less than a brand new model.

(I'm one step closer to the edge and I'm about to break!)
